Not a big fan of the last 2 GFS runs. Navarre looks like ground zero! Thankfully it's early in the game and changes should be plentiful.

I'm sorry if I still think of last year too much...

It's likely to hit west of NO close to the Texas border as a Cat3+.

A late September TS is kind of welcome here in TB, FL. A Cat 1 would be a bit over the top. Seriously, being in a solid mid-TS is an experience to remember. Yet, mostly, clean up and cost would not be real extreme. Granted, sometimes even a thunderstorm clean up costs are too much. 70 mph sustained winds turn a "fun" storm into a serious pain in the behind, if not a total nightmare. When trees start toppling and roofs start blowing apart, it's not fun anymore.

Fall Tropical Systems are part of our lives around and we do miss them when they stay away. ;)

Completely agree! We have a family reunion planed in your neck of the woods (Riverview) right in the storm timeline. The aftermath of a system is a royal pain but deep down we want to experience it.

As long as you are not all camped on the Alafia River you should be OK. Batteries are always a good thing to have in Florida any time of the year. :)

It has been pretty awesome lately, blue skies and white clouds, very little haze. Feels like Fall.

10 days with no power post Irma. We are prepared but I’d rather not..

The novelty wears away quickly soon as all the ice melts and you can't find it within 30 miles or so. Battery operated fans are a blessing. A tank of gas in the cars is good to be able to charge devices. But living without electricity sucks. We are spoiled indeed! :)

Yeah nothing says Fall like a 101 heat index

Nothing in the modelling suggests Texas and in ~150 years, 2 hurricanes, Jerry was a sheared 65 knot Cat 1, 1949 was a cat 2.  Maybe its a 50 year return and this is the year, but I don't think so.  Spaghetti instead of means, 98L muddles the mean trough, but it is fairly clear in the spaghetti.

Yeah ultimately though the low level wave is there and has tilted/folded north, this thing needs convection. That may not come until tomorrow though.

Dr. Cowan's video is more like this weekend when shear from the N abates.  NHC 5 day probs are reasonable, but this should be a low 2 day orange.  My amateur opinion.

This is going pretty much how I expected. Careful with that ASCAT data though, the mid-level circulation is likely displaced south of the actual max low level curvature. 

When the steering vector gets more aligned with the shear vector in about 48-60 hr, it might be able to sneak some development in as shear drops below 20kt. Has to get through some rather brutal 35kt shear tomorrow though.

I live in Orange Beach, AL so I guess I'm tuned into this thing. I'm a NJ guy though and whenever models showed big nor Easters up there ten days out it never happens so I'll be leaning on that here. I don't expect it to end up anywhere near here as it ain't gonna have an identical track ten straight days in a row on the models

It is to a large extent although the 0Z ICON, which doesn't go past 180 hours, was then moving WNW just NW of the NW corner of the Yucatan headed for the western Gulf. Also, the 0Z UKMET though in the SE GOM moving NNW was over 200 miles west of its prior run along with the US E coast H5 trough pulling out.

A notable change from the Euro this run is the eastern US trough.  It does not dig as far south as previous runs, so it's more like the other models now in that regard.  As someone posted yesterday, that trough will be pulling a bunch of dry air down into the southeast US and Gulf of Mexico.  This run of the Euro gets farther north before landfall and, over the last 18 hours before landfall, has the storm rapidly weakening from 939 mb to 970 mb because of increasing shear and a big gulp of dry air.

It’d be on brand for 2022 lol! We’ll see our first lows in the 50s here tomorrow night since April in Charleston so the cool, dry air is beginning to make to the coast again. Definitely something any potential system may have to deal with

Hurricane Lili might be a decent analog for this storm
